What is your varience doing?  Have you tried running any PingPlots to see if there is an Internet related problem?

See that varience?  More than likely you have something firing off in background on your computer.  That is what will cause spikes like that, or make them worse.

The clue is how regular they are occurring.  A repetitive pattern says something is running at regular intervals on your system.

I have to agree .. its on your pc most likely

I had a bad mainboard that spikes its varience , but the host time says nice and low , i double checked by using a second pc .its varience was nice and flat .

Ive also seen bad varience's from virous's,p2p file share,message,auto up date, and other programs that run behind ah while playing.

Also the Virus guys are at it again real heavy and its congesting the net again .(last nights primetime usa was a mess)

Yes, the latest round of virus attacks are making the Internet much more problematic than normal.
